Sunny days, beach plans, and summer vibes often come with an unexpected guest: hair shedding. If you’ve noticed more hair on your brush or in the shower during these warmer months, you’re not alone. Summer shedding is real but dont worry! with the right summer hair care, it’s manageable. Read on!
Why Does Hair Shed More in Summer?
The rise in temperature, sun exposure, and changes in routine can impact your scalp health and trigger hair to enter its resting (telogen) phase sooner than usual. Some common culprits include:
- UV damage weakening hair strands
- Excess sweat and oil buildup on the scalp
- Dehydration affecting hair follicles
- Chlorine and salt water drying out the hair
Summer Hair Care Tips: How to Beat the Heat
Fortunately, there are ways to keep your hair healthy and minimize shedding during summer. Here are our go-to tips:
1. Clarify and Cleanse
Use a clarifying shampoo 1–2 times per week to remove sweat, product buildup, and excess oil. A clean scalp is key to maintaining follicle health and preventing shedding.
2. Hydrate Inside and Out
Drink plenty of water, and use hydrating conditioners or leave-ins to keep strands moisturized. Dry hair breaks more easily.
3. Shield from the Sun
UV protection isn’t just for skin. Use hats or UV-protectant sprays to shield your hair from sun damage.
4. Be Gentle
Avoid tight hairstyles and excessive brushing. Wet hair is especially vulnerable to breakage.
